STUFF the SAUSAGE
Here, we’re stuffing our freshly
mixed salami meat into fresh hog
casings that were rinsed and
soaked for half an hour.

5. Step FOUR
HANG the SAUSAGE
After letting the cultures incubate
at room temperature overnight,
we hung the sausage from
Weston sausage hooks in a home
made curing chamber. Dry curing
requires humidity and
temperature control, so this
refrigerator has a humidifier
inside as well as various monitors
for humidity and temperature.

6. Step FIVE
Drying Process
Because we used hog casings, all
three of our sausages – Salami,
Peperone, & Chorizo – should
take anywhere from 12 to 20 days
to dry. It all depends on the type
and diameter of the sausages.
